Warner warns Al-Rawi on extradition comments

FORMER FIFA vice president Jack Warner has accused former attorney general Faris Al-Rawi of making “untimely and inappropriate” public statements about his ongoing legal battle, warning that further commentary could lead to legal action.In a statement on August 7, Warner said he is depending on the judiciary to handle his case “impartially, following due process and the rule of law.”He said Al-Rawi’s recent remarks about the matter risk undermining his right to a fair hearing and could sway public opinion with “speculation and legal posturing.”

Warner has challenged the legality of his extradition process, initiated in 2015 during Al-Rawi’s tenure as attorney general. Earlier this week it was revealed that Attorney General John Jeremie, SC, has ordered an investigation of the state’s prior handling of Warner’s extradition.The former chief magistrate Earle-Caddle questioned how then-Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi could certify an agreement that appears not to exist in writing.But in relation to Mr Warner, it seems paperwork at the centre of an official certification that cleared the way to have him tried on multiple corruption-related charges in the US vanished for years.

A Freedom of Information request by Warner failed to uncover a copy of the agreement, prompting Earle-Caddle to ask, “How does one certify something that is possibly non-existent?” She referred the matter to the High Court for urgent review, emphasizing that extradition involves the deprivation of liberty and must adhere strictly to legal safeguards. She also postponed Warner’s extradition hearing to allow the High Court to rule. Al-Rawi did not respond to a request for a comment on the initiation of a probe by Jeremie.

Warner has not been criminally convicted of any crime.
Your president has 34 convictions...

Warner is alleged to have broken US laws, but based on "LAW", how could then-Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi certify an agreement that appears not to exist in writing?
“How does one certify something that is possibly non-existent?”

Until then Jack is innocent as Rowley with emailgate..cool
